Chapter 1- Edward's P.O.V.

I pushed through the cafetirea doors, grabbed a tray of food that would never be eaten and sat down at our usual table.

Edward Cullen.

Reflex reaction. I turned to the sound of my name being called, though it wasn't being called, just

thought.

My eyes locked for a small portion of a second with a pair of wide, chocolate-brown human eyes set in a pale, heart-shaped face. I knew the face, though I'd never seen it myself before this moment. It had

been foremost in every human head today. The new student, Isabella Swan. Daughter of the town's chief of police, brought to live here by some new custody situation. Bella. She'd corrected everyone who'd used her full name...

I looked away, bored. It took me a second to realize that she had not been the one to think my name.

Of course she's already crushing on the Cullens, I heard the first thought continue.

Now I recognized the 'voice.' Jessica Stanley-it had been a while since she'd bothered me with her

internal chatter. What a relief it had been when she'd gotten over her misplaced infatuation. It used to be nearly impossible to escape her constant, ridiculous daydreams. I'd wished, at the time, that I could explain to her exactly what would have happened if my lips, and the teeth behind them, had gotten anywhere near her. That would have silenced those annoying fantasies. The thought of her reaction almost made me smile.

Fat lot of good it will do her, Jessica went on. She's really not even pretty. I don't know why Eric is staring so much...or Mike.

"Jessica Stanley is giving the new Swan girl all the dirty laundry on the Cullen clan," I murmured to Emmett as he sat down.

He chuckled under his breath. I hope she's making it good, he thought.

"Rather unimaginative, actually. Just the barest hint of scandal. Not an ounce of horror. I'm a little

disappointed."

And the new girl? Is she disappointed in the gossip as well?

I listened to hear what this new girl, Bella, thought of Jessica's story. What did she see when she looked at the strange, chalky-skinned family that was avoided?

I heard nothing, though I listened close beside where Jessica's internal monologue continued to

gush. It was as if there was no one sitting beside her. How peculiar, had the girl moved? That didn't

seem likely, as Jessica was still babbling to her.

I looked up to check, feeling off-balance. Checking on what my extra 'hearing' could tell me-it wasn't

something I ever had to do.

Again, my gaze locked on those same wide brown eyes. She was sitting right where she had been

before, and looking at us, a natural thing to be doing, I supposed, as Jessica was still regaling her with

the local gossip about the Cullens.
